My mum actually went up to him on Saturday and showed him the photo on page 126 and said what a really handsome young man he was.

Cryfach oedd ei ebill ef a'i ddur,
Chwyddodd gyfoeth gwr yr aur a'r faenol,
O'i enillion prin a'i amal gur.

well whos reading sensei's book, how are you getting on and what do you think of it?

Personally, I am enjoying it, I'm sure those with a longer history with Shotokan and Sensei Kawasoe will be able to relate far more to aspects of the story, but its an excellent incite into his history, and as the book says, into "the making of a master"

Kind of - I was just hoping for it to have a bit more of the UK stuff in it and for it as a whole to be a bit more "Personsa" as opposed to the "Dry Scholastic" presentation - as is of course pretty usual (the "dryness") - by Clive Layton.....
